Cucumber Mint Body Cream Recipe: Prepare and Sanitize

Before you get started on making your homemade bath and body recipe, you will want to make sure that you are properly prepared. First, you will need to make sure that all the equipment that you will need is sanitized and ready for you to use. If any of your necessary equipment isn’t ready to use, then you will need to clean this equipment with soap and water. Also, you will need to make sure that your work space is clean and free of clutter. Another preparation that you will want to make is gathering all of your necessary ingredients. This will make the process of creating homemade lotion easier and even more fun! Once your ingredients, equipment, and work space are ready to use, then you will be ready to get started with this bath and body recipe.

Cucumber Mint Body Cream Recipe: Double Boiler

The last thing that you are going to want to set up before getting started with your cosmetic recipe is your double boiler. Anyone that already has a double boiler can move on to starting this cosmetic recipe. If you don’t already have a double boiler of your own, then you can make your own with supplies that you likely already have at your home. You will need to use two differently sized pots to create your double boiler. You will want to make sure that the smaller pot will fit into the larger pot. So, you can use the larger pot to hold the boiling water. Then, place your smaller pot inside the larger pot. You will need to make sure that the water won’t boil over. Once your water is boiling you will fill your smaller pot with the cosmetic ingredients that you need to melt.

Cucumber Mint Body Cream Recipe: Preparing the Water Phase

First, you are going to prepare the water phase for your homemade conditioner. Before you weigh out the water for your cosmetic recipe, you will want to boil the water to kill germs. So, you will need to start with at least 850 grams of distilled water. It is important to have extra water before you begin boiling because some of the water will evaporate. You will need to heat your water to at least 180 degrees Fahrenheit and hold this high temperature for at least 20 minutes. This will help you to destroy any bacteria that could be in the water.

Preparing the Water Phase: Add the Chickweed Herb

Now, we are going to create a tea using the chick weed herb. This is just one way to infuse an herb into handmade lotions. So, we will create a strong tea. Fill three tea bags with the chickweed herb. You will need about 3 tablespoons of the herb for each tea bag. Then, add them to your water as it is boiling. Chick weed herb is a wonderful herb that is wonderful for dry itchy skin. American Indians were known for using chickweed for wounds and rashes. Many use it to help with skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and boils. Chickweed helps with cell-proliferation. This helps wounds heal faster.

Cucumber Mint Body Cream Recipe: Preparing the Oil Phase

Next, you are going to be preparing the oil phase of your refreshing body cream recipe. So, you are going to need to weigh out some of your cosmetic oils. You will need to use 16 grams of Stearic Acid, 48 grams of the Emulsifying Wax, 80 grams of Argan Oil, 36 grams of Lanolin Oil, and 20 grams of Cocoa Butter. After you have your ingredients measured, you will be ready to begin melting your scented lotion ingredients. Now, you can add all of these cosmetic supplies to your smaller pot. You will want to occasionally stir your ingredients as they are melting to avoid possible scorching. Once all of your body cream supplies are in a fluid state, you are ready to move on to the next step.

Cucumber Mint Body Cream Recipe: Weighing the Sterilized Water

Once your water has been boiling for at least 20 minutes you will be ready to use your freshly sterilized water. Now, you can remove your water from the heat source, remove the tea bags, and weigh out 706 grams of your sterilized water. You can add this water to your medium mixing bowl. While you need to wait before mixing the cosmetic oils and water, you can move on to the next step in this bath and body recipe.

Cucumber Mint Body Cream Recipe: Mixing Your Oil and Water Together

Before you can mix your cosmetic oils with your prepared tea you need to make sure that these two phases are at the right temperature. The temperature is extremely important to ensure that the cosmetic ingredients emulsify with the water. Otherwise, your finished product will separate and not serve as a good lotion recipe. These two phases should each be at about 140 degrees Fahrenheit before combining the two. Also, you will want these phases to be no more than 10 degrees apart. You can use your candy thermometer to monitor the temperatures. Once you have the correct temperature, you can add both the water and oil to a larger mixing bowl. Then, you can use a stick blender to combine these two phases well. If you notice that your mixture is beginning to turn white as you continue to blend, then you will know that your mixture is emulsifying.

Now that the water and cosmetic oils have been completely emulsified, you are going to want to let your mixture cool. So, you will want to monitor the temperature until it reaches about 120 degrees Fahrenheit. You will want to be careful that you don’t go any lower than this temperature before you add your remaining cosmetic ingredients. Now you will need to weigh and add 10 grams of the Vitamin E Oil, 14 grams of the Optiphen Preservative, and 12 grams of the Cucumber Mint Fragrance Oil to your mixture. Again, you will want to use a stick blender to mix these newly added ingredients into your previously emulsified mixture.

This lovely bath and body recipe includes the refreshing aroma of our Cucumber Mint Fragrance Oil. This aroma begins with an extremely unique fragrance oil notes that include a blend of fresh cucumber and freshly-cut mint leaves, This aroma is complimented with floral blossoms. This scented oil begins with top notes of garden-fresh cucumber, ripe banana, and juicy clementine. These top notes are followed by a lovely combination of cyclamen blossoms, African violets, and Madonna lily. These notes are all sitting on a base of palm fronds, spearmint leaves, and cool peppermint. So, this clean and refreshing blend of fragrance oil notes is a perfect scent for your homemade lotion recipe.

Cucumber Mint Body Cream Recipe: Cooling Down the Lotion Mixture

At this point you may notice that your homemade lotion recipe is a bit thin. If you are worried about this thinner consistency of your lotion, you will just need to wait for your lotion to cool. Your lotion will continue to thicken as it cools down to room temperature. So, don’t worry just yet! As your scented lotion begins to cool, you will need to stick blend periodically to make sure that all of the ingredients in your lotion recipe be mixed together well. Once your lotion mixture has cooled to room temperature you will be ready to begin packaging your body cream.

Now that your lovely bath and body mixture has cooled to about room temperature you will be ready to begin packaging your finished body cream recipe! So, you will need to prepare your wholesale packaging supplies, your cosmetic jars, for packaging your homemade lotion. This homemade lotion recipe will be able to make about five of the 8 oz jars full of body cream. Since we are using our 2 oz jars, you should be able to create about twenty jars of finished product! Once you have set up the cosmetic jars that you want to use, you are ready to begin scooping your finished product into these jars. Once each of the cosmetic jars are filled, you are ready to add the domed lids to the top of each of your jars.

Cucumber Mint Body Cream Recipe: Using Your Finished Product

Of course, you are officially ready to use your finished Cucumber Mint Body Cream Recipe! You can use your own homemade lotion immediately or begin preparing them for your customers.
